Paulville  

Ron Paul has pretty much slipped off the (internet news) radar since the John "Bomb bomb Iran" McCain clinched the Republican nomination but his supporters are still coming up with some novel ideas - the latest of which seems to be an intentional community for Libertarians in West Texas called "Paulville". I suspect this would be a little different to your average eco-village or hippie commune, but it will be fun to watch how it turns out (hat tip Dave M for the link).

The goal of Paulville.org it to establish gated communities containing 100% Ron Paul supporters and or people that live by the ideals of freedom and liberty.

The process is forming a co-op of people buying shares in the community and these people would be granted land use at a minimum of 1 acre per share, for as long as they homesteaded the land. The community would be privately held by the co-op to establish private property for the general community thus preserving the community is 100% freedom and liberty lovers. The community votes on all community efforts, such as utilities etc. However no one is forced to consume these utilities and or pay for them, AKA people can be off grid on their share of land. This is in line with the ideals that you're free to live your life the way you want and not be forced to do or pay for other people's life styles you may not agree with.

These communities are not for the faint at heard they will start as undeveloped land in non city locals, as this is the way to secure large tracts of land needed for these efforts.
